.

That little dot at the end says "use the current directory as the 
target directory." There has to be a space as separator before the 
period or it won't work. The period is actually a (very short) 
parameter, not a terminator as in text. 

BTW since I cut my Linux eyeteeth back in the day when it came on 
multiple 5.5" floppy images (i.e. original Slackware) I am used to 
operating as the root user or administrator when it is useful to do 
so. Hence when using a Debian derivative partition (Debian, Kubuntu, 
Ubuntu or my favorite: Knoppix) I do this command one time:

sudo passwd root myfavoritepassword

From that day forward I can sign on as root, just like a real adult 
who has 42 years of computer programming and operation under his belt. 
No more typing sudo all over the place. 

passwd is not a misspelling in this instance.
